My Little Boy Blue!

Today was Mother Goose Day at Kids Day Out! It was the first dress up day Graham has had in child care so I was very excited. Luckily, Grandma Calufetti helped out with his costume. She got the cutest part, ... the overalls! I LOVE them! I know he'll wear them a bunch, not just for costume times.

As the name of the day suggests, we were supposed to dress our kids up in a costume of a Mother Goose character and bring the rhyme that goes with their character. Graham was Little Boy Blue. Here's a picture of Little Boy Blue I found on the internet to go off of and then a picture of Graham's outfit. Not shabby, huh?

As you can see, I even made him a little horn out of a toilet paper roll, construction paper and a permanent marker. It's not the best trumpet ever, but it worked just fine for these purposes. Here are a few more pictures:

The rhyme that goes with his costume.

A close up of my masterpiece. As you can tell, I'm very crafty. ; )

Graham "playing" (a.k.a. chewing on) his horn.

Maybe it's because we were inside, but he sure didn't want to keep the hat on.

All in all, I think it was a successful day. They had a fall party today and we brought the apple juice. He made a special friend, another little boy who looks like him (skinny and bald). They apparently would take turns talking and listening to each other, as if they were really have a conversation of their own. Oh, I wish I could have seen that cuteness! All the kids' and teachers' outfits were super cute and it was fun to be a part of it! I look forward to all future fun events I can help Graham out with!
